Radio Review

BY JOHN T. HAWKINS Times Radio Editor Each Friday night over the Columbia broadcasting system two excellent examples of the extremes in radio play broadcasting are given. Eva le Gallienne and the Civic Repertory theater offer the last word in the serious, intellectual sort of play and the True Detective Mysteries hour openly and bravely brings out the most melodramatic and blood-curdling sketches that can be found. Neither type of offering has yet found the happy medium which will please the greatest number of listeners. Le Gallienne has her followers. a great numbei? of them, but they represent, a very small portion of the entire radio audience of over thirty million listeners. True Detective Mysteries has probably the greatest number of devotees of the two programs, but it is yet too radical to appeal to the audience it would be possible to obtain. Eva le Gallienne is on the right track, but has not yet found out what goal she is striving to reach. For instance the offering Thursday night, the last scene from ’’The Inheritor.” This play, unless the listener has seen it on the stage, is absolutely dependent on the gestures, facial expression and makeup of the actors to get across in the proper manner. And if there is anything that is totally blind, it is radio as known at the present time. The mystery program, however, has solved this part of the problem. By means of stage effects and a thorough description of the action by means of the dialogue, they make their offering so clear as to be positively gruesome at times; m fact, it is much too clear for comfort. For those who like Hawaiian music, or the steel guitar, the Columbia system has an interesting feature in Walter Kolomoku’s Honoluluans at 5 o'clock each Thursday evening. Original interpretations ol popular melodies are featured.

Fishing the Air

Arthur Foote, one of America’s best known musicians, is the composer of the "Bedouin Song,” a stirring and martial composition, with which the choristers, a male octet directed by George Dilworth, will open the program to be broadcast over the NBC system Friday night at 7 o'clock. Baa a h n The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia will exhibit its wares to the nation when, at 9:30 o’clock Friday evening, a radio program emanating from the famous institution will go on the air via WABC and the Columbia system.

CAT FASTS 21 DAYS Little Breakfast Food Was All; Feline Spry When Found. tin l nitr.d Press MARTINSDALE, Mont.. Jan. 10.— Far from killing it, twenty-one days without water and only a bare scrap of food seemed to be a correct diet for a spry and frisky cat. When William Huband, sheep herder, closed and locked his cabin, he unwittingly imprisoned a wandering cat which had slipped in unseen. Twenty-one days later he opened his cabin door and was greeted by a very active, but rather gaunt feline. The cat’s only sustenance during the three-week period was a little dry breakfast food. It had no water. Strage to say. this particular cat, which upheld the nine-lives tradition of its kind, refused to touch milk after its long fast.
